'Precious' star Gabourey Sidibe's amazing weight loss

Walking down the red carpet at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in Hollywood, actress Gabourey Sidibe showed of her amazing weight loss in a flattering teal frock.

Having reportedly shed almost 70kg, the Precious star says that she made a conscious decision to embrace her natural curves and hasn’t looked back.

‘My first diet started when I was six years old. I’ve never been a small girl,’ she told Oprah Winfrey in 2009.

‘One day I had to sit down with myself and I decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body… I got tired of feeling bad all the time. I got tired of hating myself.’
